Asked By:sunnyone123 in Akron, OH

Under the crown was a bad tooth didn't want to pull it out because i had a tooth on top. It is sensitive to hot and cold... Sometimes when i bite down on something it bothers me other times no. So i don't understand. Its only been 4 days since i had this done should i give it more time gargle with salt water and get sensodyne. Thank you for your time.
